Mikey, was a warm and friendly person, he made you feel welcome in any situation. He lit up a room when he walked in. He loved life, all his friends and his family. I will miss him dearly. May God give you the strength you need to get through this difficult time. Love you lots

Please accept my condolences. Several times when I used Act II for trips to Chicago, he was the driver. On one trip , I accidentally dropped a $20 bill while I was getting money for a tip
The next morning he came to my condo and gave me the $20 because he had remembered where I sat. Many drivers probably would have kept the money - I really appreciated his honesty. At one time he was also our postman. He was a very thoughtful man.
